    I remember watching this 4 years ago. Now I'm enjoying living a life more plant based: Fruits, Vegetables, Plant Based "meats" etc. Lost 50 lbs. Running has become more fun and kept me fit. No Diabetes, Hypertension, borderline Obesity. Nice for the Algorithm to let me know how far I've come.
  • I am 67 years old and I can't express the gratitude I felt watching this video.
  • @jbidwell605
    I adore this man and his message. He's such a brilliant communicator. Go Vegan! :)
  • @VidVoyeur612
    No freaking way. I just looked up his age. Wow. If that's NOT inspirational to anyone...I was inspired to become plant-based after watching The Game Changers and this just made the fire under my ass a whole lot hotter.
  • @masonb9788
    I wish I'd started plant-based back when I first read his book several years ago. But hey, I've started now.

    Rich, it's New Year's Day, 2020. As I listened, I spontaneously found myself cleaning out my little pantry and wondering "where are the lentils? I know there's a bag of lentils somewhere." I settled for quinoa and made a note to get lentils.
  • 27 alcoholics or carnivores gave a thumbs down to this video. Really? A very inspiring presentation Rich!
  • I’ve been vegan for two years and I’ve never felt better. I’ll be 60 in September and I will be in the best shape ever. Roll is very inspirational... wow..
  • @zkmarija
    So inspirational . I am so glad I bumped into this video. I have been 🌱 plant based for 3 years now. I am 42 years old. I was 41 when I did my first four arm stand ever. Have been doing Hot Yoga for 3 years also. The amount of energy that I have now is incredible. I had now idea that I would meet myself for the first time when I'm 40. Thank you Rich gor this amazing talk.

    I wish I had watched this long before my body failed me. I used to work out at the gym every day. If I wasn’t at the gym, I would be running or hiking. Maybe if I had changed my diet then, I wouldn’t have gotten hit with RA, Hashimotos, lung problems, etc. it’s been 10 years of constant health struggles. I went on the AIP paleo diet for three years where I learned to eat clean ~ you know ~ grass fed meats, healthy fats, etc. etc. I started to feel worse. I couldn’t straighten out my elbows, hands hurt so bad I couldn’t hold a pen! My cholesterol level was going up and my CRP level was off the chart high. I went plant based vegan 16 months ago and I am feeling so much better. My bloodwork speaks for itself! Unfortunately, I do have osteoporosis now due to the many years that I had to take prednisone just to be able to function and work so I will never be able to go back to working out the way I used to. I have no doubt that if I had known about this diet back then, I would be that ultra athlete! Thank you Rich for being so inspiring!
  • @cirjames2540
    Rich is brilliant, transparent and full of inspiration. Thank you Rich
  • @xontheweb2376
    Thanks Rich for sharing. I made the same changes 6 months ago. Exactly the same: lost all excess weight, slim and light, feeling bright and sharper, feeling more connected to the important stuff. No crazy diet required: no more junk food, no more dairies and eggs, raw food at least 50% of daily solid intake. In no time you'll love what you've in the mirror and the person you become.
  • I cried real hard watching him talk. His approach and calm demeanor. I really look up to Rich and David a lot cause they constantly remind me that theres a better way to live
  • @claire9771
    Keep telling your story Rich, more and more people are listening 💪🙌🙌
  • @pauladavies2308
    Why has anyone given this video the thumbs down!? It's inspirational.
  • I love his podcasts because he is 100% present with his guests, both supporting and enhancing their story and message without upstaging them, interrupting to demonstrate his brilliance, or launching into a side story to take some of the limelight away from them. I didn't know his backstory and now I am not just wildly impressed, I am inspired.

    12 years ago when I was 20 years old I was exercising like a professional athlete despite I wasn't one. My physical performance was top everywhere I went. I think it was actually professional level. I felt amazing. Today 12 years after, at 32 years, I think I have the same energy levels (despite less strength because I stopped training about 10 years ago and I barely train now, one day a week average so my performance is definitely lower). I have been vegan since 4 years ago, I aim to eat as healthy as I can, mostly whole foods plant based diet and I have impressive energy levels despite how little I train and how little I sleep 6h average (I aim to improve this to 7.5-8h a day for improving my health) and since I have been eating this vegan way, a healthy vegan way (plus I am vegan thus I don't use/abuse animals at all), I have felt better than ever. I recommend everyone to adopt a whole foods plant based diet, and while you are at it, go vegan and stop using/abusing animals completely and your life will never be the same, it will be many times better. Educate yourself about nutrition and health and do a 100% plant based diet the proper way

    He is a superb communicator, a delight to listen to. He has his message without being preachy, hysterical or overly dramatic and extreme. I've just started listening to his podcast and its great
